Tesla Semi Prototypes Racking Up Road Miles

With sightings across the country, it seems the Tesla Semi prototypes are getting some road testing ahead of production.

A truck was was spotted in February traveling on California’s I-80 near Sacramento. And reports on social media in the past month have placed the Semi at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis and an event for Pepsi employees in Dallas. Both companies have announced orders for the vehicle.

Last week, both the short range, matte black Tesla Semi and the long range silver Semi were spotted by YouTube user Sergey MoldovanAmerican. The trucks were spotted near Danville, Calif., about 30 minutes from Tesla’s Fremont factory.

With the truck scheduled to go into production next year, sightings of the Semi being tested on public roads will likely be more frequent.
